10 And the LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, [and] hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who [were] before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
12 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I [am] bringing [such] evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as [a man] wipeth a dish, wiping [it], and turning [it] upside down.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
15 Because they have done [that which was] evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.
